I started the weekend not planning on doing ANY cooking... nothing, nada, zip.
That didn't last long.
Friday night - pizza. Why? cause it's Friday night.

Saturday - had a huge lunch out (so at least I stuck to PART of my plan)
While we are at BJs Wholesale yesterday morning Big Al says - "I want to go over and look at the meats." I think to myself - why, we have plenty in the freezer.. Next thing I know there is a tiny brisket flat in the cart
Big Al - "I thought "we'd" cook this tomorrow for my dad and take it over to him"
Me - OK, "we" can do that.

This morning "we" (read I) get up, fire up the Egg and get the brisket on - it really is a cute little 3.39 pounder - a baby really.
Big Al saunters downstairs about an hour later and we have the "what are we going to have for dinner" conversation, which turns into the " what are we going to pack for lunch this week" conversation.
So now I go from not doing anything on a Sunday to cooking:
1 brisket
9 chicken thighs
5 Brats

Hummmmmmm.....

ps... Big Al did make me a cup of coffee so I guess he gets a few points...

I get the "we have to" thing from my wife all the time. I have learned that when she says "we" have to do some work around the house/yard/garage/basement she really means I have to do some work around the house/yard/garage/basement.

NOT JUST today Lyn!! You've been a cooking machine the last few day!!!
I found a whole brisket finally, 4.49 a lb! so i'm looking at about 50 bucks to cook a whole brisket for the first time?? I THINK NOT!!

Well, I had my Rotator Cuff surgery on Fri. So, I figured I didn't want to be the one armed chef this weekend. Got outa my recliner yesterday morning after about an hour & a half of sleep & my 1st thought was "I have a 10# piece of chuckie in the freezer". So it went on the drum this am. Man it smells gooood!!! It's resting in the cooler as I type.

I know what you mean. I've got a spatchcocked chick in the fridge for dinner tonight (leftovers for tomorrow's lunch at work) and my beautiful wife told me that she wants green enchiladas this week. That means I might as well grill up the chicken tonight to save time during the week. Maybe I can fit something else on the egg for later in the week.

Well, I have never had anyone named Big Al come down the stairs and ask me what I am cooking for him. So, it has never happened to me.

Well... not yet at least....
